The FISH with HUMAN Teeth! Catch Clean Cook

We are fishing the Indian River in Stuart, Florida going after the sheepshead! Our goal was to fish bridges, docks and any type of structure that holds barnacles and crabs, which are natural forage for sheepshead. We used live fiddler crabs and shrimp for bait.

FYI...Males have one large claw and females have two small claws.

[@IAMJORDI0117]

Just came here to say that

[@rainman6080]

Next time try night crawlers. Work as good as fiddlers without getting muddy catching them or having trouble finding them. Walmart always has them.

[@pokinatchapunkrawk]

How is the bycatch using worms? Been wanting to try them. We usually use mud crabs. Almost no bucatch.

[@rainman6080]

@@pokinatchapunkrawk not bad but will catch some others with them. Have caught spot and whiting occasionally. Pink worms will work too, imagine any of them would. If you are with the big sheepshead really don’t catch much else except them and a black drum. I regularly catch 20-24” sheepshead on them near bridge pilling on the down current side in SC. I get more small ones near docks than pilings and more bycatch. Lightest lead that will drop to the bottom and a 1/0 or # 2 octopus hook whatever is in my tacklebox at the time. Been using them for 15-20 years. If I have time to gather or the bait shop has them I use the fiddlers or oysters but for a quick after work kayak trip I use the worms. I can’t tell a difference between them in the number of fish caught. If you really want to have fun use a 16’ telescopic crappie pole pitching around the pillings for them. Crazy fight

[@E-jc9iy]

Okay and sound great

[@isaiahroberson5003]

Black drum actually do get upwards of that 50-60lb class range in Florida. Me and my dad used to go drop half a fist-sized blue crab underneath bridges right next to the pillars and catch em under the Gandy. 50lb mono, 50-60 flouro leader, 5 to 7/o mustad beak hook, 3oz egg on a Carolina rig. Usually about 3-4ft of leader. Havent been in years but im sure its just as good as its always been.

[@SkinnyWaterPirate]

I wish the Gandy bridge all the time, they’re not as present as they once were there but still there!

[@Emangotmovement]

Not here in Stuart 😂 I wish

[@briangreenfield7236]

They get over 100 lbs in the Delaware Bay caught @a 70 lb 2 yrs ago off my jetski

[@Pedro-xu1qg]

Thx for the tips g

[@lschoenrank]

I always love watching the catch (especially fishing out on the beautiful blue ocean), clean and cook. Wonderful, tasty recipes. But then you plate it, piling everything on top of each other, and I want to run away shouting "noooo....."

I've been watching The Victor's website for the past few years. Like going on a little vacation watching this. Victor has a great delivery & voice when explaining things- very educational. Great camaraderie around the people. BUT!!!! What really AMAZES me is when Victor fillets & cleans up these fish! HOW he never gets any blood on his pristine white long sleeve T-shirts!!!. Really enjoyed that video when he filleted the bluefin tuna from California. I cook as well. But I don't have Victor's gift. I have to apron up.:):)

[@Kezmo]

Sheepshead is my favorite fish to eat. Delicious!

Love fishing the Indian river for snook and tarpon by the docs! Found a lot of sheepshead when fishing live shrimp as well, but will have to try fiddlers! Great vid keep up the amazing work victor!!

[@GrimvOVER9000]

Vic I know the exact feeling you're talking about with fishing new baits or catching new species, I get it too, I get excited even when I catch something less desirable if it's a pb or a new species for me. I always joke with my buddies that it's another page completed in my Pokedex lol

giant black drum: no better place to catch them then mothers day weekend in Cape May NJ. You fish whole ocean clams for them. Fish are regularly 60+ lbs. Cooking drum filets like chicken parm is a local favorite here.

I'll never forget the time I swear a sheepshead school came through, you couldn't cast a line out without hitting a big one in seconds. Night fishing in Galveston TX. Believe it was in November.

Hey victor I use to knock the oysters of the sea wall and smash the oyster and hook they oyster and shell together and the couldn’t resist it

Tampa bay around the bridges in the spring, caught several at 40 lbs with cut crabs, great video..

[@johnathoncastro]

youre thinking of Black Drum. A 40LB sheephead would be a record.

[@d.faulkner8210]

@@johnathoncastro ,yes that what I was referring to ,he was wanting to go after large drum and that's where I use to catch them. Don't think I would want to see a 40 lb sheephead on a 10 lb class spinning outfit.

[@roberttanner7486]

Black drum, Florida get huge. I’ve Caught in the 60 pound range, fernandina bch. Jetty and south end inlet. I think Mrs Moore caught one weight 90 plus back in the day. Sheepshead was a favorite species in my youth. North jetty and fiddlers were the bait. So much fun to catch because of the challenge of the non existent bight. Excellent table fare.

[@joshkelley8102]

Awesome footage super crisp footage

I've caught some absolutely massive springtime black drum in Galveston, TX. I use Reel Men Fishing Charters. I've limited out on drum, sheepshead, and bonnetheads every time using him. Always a great time.

[@mattholt3585]

Enjoyed the video. We have a great sheepshead fishery up here in Jacksonville. Sooo...the big black drum come up into the st. johns river to spawn from the first full moon in March to the full moon in April. They can be targeted the same way as our bull red run in the fall. Three way swivel set up, with deshelled blue crab on a circle hook. The locals don't "talk" loud about it, but if you get out there, you can catch them 70-100lbs. No bs. Good luck my friend. Tight lines

[@tafariebarbour760]

Great fishing videos bro love them

[@earlalford7694]

Great video Vick. I think most avid fisherman look at the stomach contents. Its always good to know what your fish are eating.

Cross.... looks really good Victor Brook and the guys thanks for taking the time to video that catch clean cook 🍳 I was fishing st Petersburg Florida dangling the filter crab 🦀 right in front of the sheep head 😂 🤣😂 he must of been full because he didn't take the baite .... grill cheese that fish 😂 🤣😂 looks like it be perfect on a sandwich 🥪 just saying ❤

[@adaml.8300]

Every year for the past 21 years I’ve left my home in Fort Lauderdale to spend a week over summer fishing on Androscoggin lake in Leeds, Maine. I catch large and small mouth bass up to 6-8 lbs, pickerel, and white perch. There are trout in the lake also but I’ve never pulled one out myself during summer. I did see someone catch a rainbow trout in the lake once but I think you’re more likely to catch brown trout if/when you do. Anyway, it’s a beautiful place and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a scenic getaway. We stay at Angell Cove Cottages which is the best place on this lake, without a doubt. Maybe I’ll see you out there one year, Vic! We know a lot of the locals and get into lots of shenanigans so we can show you around town.

[@timn.7802]

[@sailorrobsfishingadventure694]

Yankeetown Florida has some really big black drum. Really like your videos. Great recipes.

[@blkfish70]

Giant black drum? Sebastian inlet on the the end of the north jetty early mornings. The bite generally is over by 10 am.

[@mirandamaher9465]

We use 3/0 live bait hooks, extra stout with a short shank . Sheep have concrete mouthes, the big hook gets behind the teeth.

[@31keivon]

Great content Vic! We catch massive black drums up here in Pensacola.

[@jamescostello6529]

Another great one. There are no trash fish. Sheepshead are amazing. Mom didn't know how to fillet so we gutted, headed and scaled them. Cooked em in oil and flaked the meat off the skin. But my all time favorite "trash" fish are grunts. I will eat them over grouper any day. If you want big drum head over to Tampa bay and fish off the Gandy Bridge, if you still can. Of the cat walk we regularly caught 30 to 50 pounders when they are coming up into the bay to spawn. Wormy as all get out but it's tow truck fishing at it's best. Sheeps head hint; carry along an old garden hoe that you straightened out and scrape along the structure. Chum deluxe and it brings in everything.

[@midwestshoreangler9127]

My very first saltwater fish was a sheepshead. Caught it back in 2013 at Sebastian Inlet.

[@LazyAnglerFL]

This spring we can go get that BIG black drum and big tripletail checked off... few months from Mayhem time!

[@moneymarty1]

Absolutely outstanding! I would love to join you for dinner, but I'm consigned to the muddy waters of northeast Missouri. We do have a lake from which our drinking water is processed that has walleye and pike, but I haven't caught any to enjoy.

[@wildbillsfishingadventures551]

I’ve caught multiple 30+ pound black drums key bait is cutt fresh blue crabs in brackish water at the dam and bridges in Lynn haven fl always fun enjoyed the video bro!

[@nicomeier8098]

According to John Skinner its good to take the legs of the crab because Sheepsheads are notorious for stealing your bait and just taking it on the legs so they are difficult to hook.

[@IAMJORDI0117]

I saw some monster sheep head at picnic Island, and Tampa Bay last night at the pier that’s a good place to fish right now at night fish come into the lights on the pier

[@alwaysfishing3392]

We get large schools of mature black drum in the yankeetown/crystal river area every July like clockwork. 50+ fish in a pod with none smaller than 15lbs plenty pushing 30lbs

[@drc022800]

Go further north you will catch some tank black drum. Caught a 30/40 pounder near ponce inlet on a fiddler crab under a bridge they get much bigger too

[@bonepicker1]

I really like this video. I grew up in Pensacola, sheepshead were one of my favorite fish to catch. Growing up I couldn't always afford fiddler crab for bait so instead, I'd use whole hermit crab on a J hook and free lined the baits along bridge pilings, jetties, and docks. I would watch for either a line twitch or slack line moving off and set the hook. My PB was 10lbs. Hermit crabs were my go to bait. Sheepshead are great tasting because of their crustacean diet. You mentioned big black drum, you should hit up Bearded Brad in Orange Beach, AL. He catches monster sized drum locally.

[@robgover8341]

Not many people use hermit crabs, but they are great bait! Redfish love them. I grew up on Bayou Chico and used hermit crabs all the time.

[@petersmith9935]

Major W

[@terrencevogt6555]

I used those same small crab , and I find it's best to hook them from right where tire foot is attached to thier belly and come through the back

[@roberthathaway7958]

I like your job it looks like too much fun in minnesnota it’s 7 degrees have a great day

[@connorheimsath]

Vic, come up to the Galveston jetties in Texas. This time of year through April we catch a lot of big black drum!

[@roryf.1349]

I remember fishing in the Loxahatchee and the Jupiter Inlet as a kid. I hated hooking those little puffers. Watching them puff up was entertaining, but that's about all I like about them. I always loved sheepshead though. It was always my favorite part of winter after Christmas. FYI, if you want a good, low maintenance perennial leafy green that tastes a lot like spinach, look into getting some Okinawan spinach. It's native to Indonesia, so perfect for south Florida, and the underside of the leaves are purple, so Brooke would probably like that. The difference between it and store bought stuff is like fresh caught fish vs. the Publix frozen section. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

[@BLACKLT1]

Never get over how good it looks down there but here in Texas it’s kinda Ight sometimes muddy water and fhe weather has to be just right to catch a lot of fish stay catching fish Vic

[@michaelgreene]

Oh Man, Victor you were in my neighborhood. Those power lines are from a power plant I worked at for over 30 years, St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. Wish I knew you all were going to be in my area. Would have enjoyed meeting you all in person. Sheepshead bite is usually subtle. They take the bait in and crush it. Don't usually run. Kinda difficult to catch them when you are casting to them. Ideally you fish for them from above and put the weight at the bottom of the line and the hook about a foot above it. That way you feel the bite better. Some actually park the boat and fish from the bridge structure. We also will chum by scraping the barnacles from the bridge to get them to come around. , Mojarra's, Sand Perch are delicious and Black Drum can go over 100lbs. If you use blue crabs, cut in half you'll catch big Black Drum at the bridges. Good luck. Keep the videos coming. Especially the catch and cooks.

Been Sheepie fishing a couple times this month . Got one and got skunked. Fish can be very picky. Fiddler May work one day and then nothing but sand fleas the next day. May depend on where you fish for them as in more open versus coves

[@thriveoutdoors35]

Heads up to anyone watching- while puffers are delicious, it's illegal to keep them from Martin County (where this was filmed) up through Volusia County.

[@mirandamaher9465]

Sheep are usually 40/60 meat to carcass when filleted. You can get a little bit better return by also keeping the wings.

[@jackofsometrades3050]

Hey man I hear we have some black drum bridge monsters up here in Brunswick GA...I haven't been out to catch any as I'm always land fishing.... Getting a kayak soon tho to hunt some bridge monsters

[@sethcourtney468]

Looks like you’re fishing the Brevard County bridges (my stomping grounds). You are right where some big black drum live. Not too long ago, someone caught a 70 pounder underneath the 520 bridge. Bring some decently heavy gear, tear the top off of a blue crab, and let that puppy soak up against a piling. About 5 years ago I was also night fishing the north causeway in New Smyrna, folks were pulling in 20-40 pounders all night.

[@flowerfarmerscott]

There's a little indentation right next to the dorsal fin on a sheepshead. You can get under the skin easily there and get a cleaner line on the top of those fillets. I like to eat sheepshead better than any other inshore fish.

Hey Vic and viewers! Huge fan of the channel I try to watch every video shortly after it comes out. I will be heading down to south Miami Beach in the next few days for vacation. I just got back from a 9 month deployment in the middle east and would love to get out saltwater fishing for the first time. I'm very experienced freshwater fishing in Minnesota but have never fished saltwater. I was hoping someone could recommend me a guide near Miami Beach that would provide all the equipment needed. If they offer a military discount that would be great! Species and size aren't a concern I just want to get on some fish I've never caught before.

In Corpus Christi Tx have big black Drum up to 60 lb this is Drum season.

Bro you fish with the drum God. Joey catches the 50 60pd drums at inlet like taking candy from a baby.

[@Musiqology]

Here in Louisiana, we catch sheepshead like that. One tip to catching them: let them slack your line. Fish tight line with crab or shrimp and you’ll notice they always slack your line. Their teeth and the way they feed causes tons of fishermen to miss their bite
